Alizee was born on August 21, 1984 in Ajaccio, Corsica. She had a happy childhood with her parents and her little brother Johann.
In 1995, she entered a drawing contest which she won, her design for an airplane being chosen out of more than 6,000. A real plane was named Alizee and her family won a trip to the Maldives.
In November 1999, "Graines de Stars" talent show, presented by Laurent Boyer, comes to Ajaccio. For Alizee, who - at that time - wanted to become a dance teacher, this was the perfect occasion to be seen, but it was her singing skills that impressed the show staff and got her selected.
In July 2000 her first single comes out, "Moi... lolita", after she met Laurent Boutonnat and Mylene Farmer. To date, almost 1.5 million copies were sold in France alone. By this time the media started to pay attention to the "Alizee phenomenon".
After only 4 months of career, on November 17, 2000, Alizee surprisingly wins her first award: the "M6 award of the French-speaking revelation of the year". She launches her first album, called "Gourmandises" in January 2001
